The Outerwear Piece Worth Buying: A Trench
Lately I feel like the weather in NY has been so much cooler and more overcast than I remember for this time of year, which has made me reach for a trench coat more than usual. A trench is one of those pieces that just makes sense on those days when you leave the house not totally sure what the weather is going to do.
There’s a reason the trench coat never really goes out of style. The classic shape always looks polished and works just as well with denim and sneakers as it does over a dressier look. It’s practical, timeless, and one of those rare wardrobe staples that can instantly pull an outfit together.
What I love now is that there are so many updated versions beyond the traditional beige trench. You can find cropped styles, oversized fits, darker color palettes, and silhouettes that feel a little more fashion-forward while still keeping that timeless feel.
And while the heritage versions will always be iconic, there are great options at every price point. Investment pieces from Burberry and ME+EM are true forever pieces, but every season brands like ASOS and H&M offer really stylish and affordable options.
Below I’m sharing some of my favorite trench coats right now — from investment buys to more affordable finds.
